The Guildford Design Awards are awarded on a bi-annual basis by The Guildford Society and Guildford Borough Council.
Entries for awards are invited in a number of categories including:
All entries have to be in the boundary of Guildford Borough.
The Guildford Design Awards judging panel is made up from officers of Guildford Borough Council, a heritage consultant, representatives from local organisations and members of the Guildford Society. They bring a range of skills and experience in building projects, public art and local business.
To select the awards the panel of judges created a short list from the entries received. The Judging Panel then visited all the ‘short listed’ projects.
The ‘Guildford Design Award ‘is given to projects which are well designed, successful and are also an exemplary project which bring a little ‘ pixie dust’ to the borough.
The ‘short list’ projects are considered as whether they were of a quality to receive a ‘Winners Award’ or a ‘Commendation’ award.
The index below allows access to the Winners in previous events. This provides pictures of Winners and in some cases interviews with the architects responsible for winning schemes.
